"RE: Wedding Glasgow University Sept '09
Hi Lee, just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the band for an excellent night on Saturday, sorry I didn't get the chance to speak to you afterwards, was a bit hectic.
Line up:5 Piece band: Female & Male Lead vocals; Bass; Keyboards; Drums; Guitar (Also 2 male backing vocals)
Highlights * Great 5 piece party band * Female lead vocals and male backing vocals * Mixed set of 50s-00s classics * Music between sets free of charge * Ceilidh set and Caller free of charge
Swift are all experienced professional musicians who came together to form one of the country’s leading party bands. Between them Swift players have played throughout the world.
The band have a growing reputation as one of the more accomplished acts in this market. Swift offer something to suit everyone’s taste from the subtle melodies of the sixties to hits from the 00's. A huge repertoire of classic songs that will ensure you and your guests will have a night to remember.
Swift play totally live which is the only way to get the energy and excitement that only a live band can provide.
Swift use the best instruments and PA equipment to provide clients with fantastic quality of sound and lights. With a compact yet powerful sound system Swift are at home in small bars or large auditoriums and if they are too loud 'THEY'LL TURN IT DOWN!'
Between them they have lots of international experience: 4 members worked at the Budweiser Carnival in Japan; Lee and Lorri (singer and guitarist) spent 7 years performing in various locations in the Mediterranean with Thomson Gold Holidays during this time they also worked for Princess Cruises Celebrity Cruises and Sun Cruises.
Swift are always well presented - all members wearing smart suits. They class their image as smart and formal. Swift pride themselves in being professional in every way from musicianship to time keeping offstage behavior to image. They won't turn up at your function in ripped jeans and a string vest!!
The band have performed at many types of function including weddings, balls, proms, corporate events, birthday parties, divorce parties(!), wedding anniversaries....the list goes on!
Due to the nature of a live 5 piece band they are better suited to audiences of 90 people or more. If you have a large scale function (500 people and above) extra equipment can be hired to suit the venue. Hire can be arranged by Swift or the hirer.
Your Event * Swift are happy to consider requests for no extra charge providing they deem it suitable to their genre * They can also provide music between sets for no extra charge in any genre you require (please ask your agent) * Swift can perform and call a Ceilidh set available should you wish

"Just a small note to say a huge thank you for an absolutely tremendous performance at our wedding on 10th July at the Park Hotel Falkirk. The atmosphere you created was second to none. Once again many many thanks" - Derek & Sarah Oliver
"We wanted to write and say thank you for making our evening so special. Everybody has commented on how good the band was and in particular you did us proud with your version of our first dance. Special thanks to Lee for organising everything in advance in fact all the members of the band were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with throughout. Great music great atmosphere! We couldn't recommend you enough!" - Mark & Linda Reid June '09
"Hi Guys Let me start by apologising for getting back to you so long after the event BUT ………We just wanted to send you a little note to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding. You were fantastic! You guys really are brilliant and we can’t believe that you managed to get everyone up dancing on the first song and keep them up dancing until the last – well done. We had a fabulous time and you will be pleased to know that the comments are still rolling in from our guests saying how amazing you were and asking for your details :o). You definitely made the day the fun event we had hoped for. I also wanted to say that you were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout including all the ‘boring’ organising correspondence. Thanks again and I hope we have another celebration in the near future that allows us to treat ourselves to another Swift session!" - Zoe & Richard
"Hi there Lee. We wanted to thank you so much for the fantastic set you played at our wedding reception. You were amazing. What energy and what a sound! The band were amazing and the vocals blew us away. Everyone was telling us how brilliant you were and some have asked for your details for possible future contact. I have given them your website address. We can't thank you enough. Your interaction with the party was great the inclusion of the scottish dances was excellent and the way the evening was finished with the fratellis was just perfect. I just wished it could have gone on all night! Thank you so much for making our day even more memorable." - Leisa and David McArthur
"Dear Swift We just wanted to thank you so much for your fantastic playing at our wedding. We didn't stop dancing! You sang & played all the best hits-& so well! Everyone commented on how good you were. Even the hotel manager said you were good as everyone was drinking water-apparently in his experience a sign of a good band! We're sorry we didn't get to talk to you more or thank you properly on the night everything went so quickly. But you really did make it a great atmosphere, so thank you. Hope the travelling wasn't too difficult, Best Wishes," - Kirsty & James West
"I have known Swift just over a year now, And they have performed at a couple of Events such as Weddings and Birthday Parties, Personally and listening to the comments from the party guests it is very hard to say anything that faults the talented, young ambitious guys like Swift. Recently I hosted a Wedding Fair and Swift came along to promote their band as well as supporting our company. I would not hesitate in providing anyone with a reference and I look forward to working with them in the future…" - Scott MacGregor - Events Manager, Point Hotel Edinburgh 2007
"What a great night! Catered for every taste – in fact we were up on the floor most of the evening! Superb live act! Will be booking Swift again for sure! If you’re looking for a top act this year – you MUST book these guys - the atmosphere is electric!!" - Mr.Sutherland, Private Party Aug 06

"RE: Wedding Dundas Castle Aug 09
'We booked Swift for our wedding at Dundas Castle and couldn't recommend them highly enough. They were absolutely fantastic our dance floor was full all night.
They played until 11pm at which time a DJ finished off the night. This is my only regret from our wedding day! I wish I'd left them playing all night. The lead singer ... what a voice, truly fantastic.’....

"Choosing a band for your special day is a difficult task, another organisational worry to add to a very long list. We couldn't have been happier with Garry and the band, appreciating how professional and efficient they were at setting up and ultimately entertaining our guests.
The band was flexible and accommodating, and made us feel very comfortable that everything would go off without a hitch. And indeed it did. Our happiest day was punctuated superbly with a evening of musical entertainment that made everyone get up and dance. We have no hesitation in providing a recommendation.
Mr & Mrs Kennedy -

"We never wanted a band for our Wedding as all previous ones we had seen we’re not up to much. We wanted some thing special with 'no cheese'. A friend recommended Swift...
I booked Swift for 2 x 45 min sets and also booked a Ministry of Sound DJ for later in the evening when the oldies had all gone home. My Ministry of Sound DJ never made it on and Swift never made it off the stage. They we’re amazing!!!
Swift have since played all of my friend’s weddings and I highly recommend them.
Thanks Guys.
Luv Mr & Mrs H x - Wedding July 2005"
